Manufacturers Demand Ongoing Return on Investments

Your ERP system should support process automation and productivity initiatives—not burden your business.

Outdated, legacy ERP software often means:

Costly and disruptive ERP upgrades.

Falling behind on innovation.

Painful ongoing annual maintenance fees (20-30%) for the "right" to new versions.

Implementing those new versions every few years.

Paying for the software twice in the first few years—once up front and then again over the next few years through annual maintenance fees.

A sunk investment until you decide to undertake a costly ERP ugrade project.

Missing out on newer capabilities that help you run your business better.

It’s like buying a new car and watching its value diminish while you continue to make payments for years after the purchase, yet never having the latest features.

Green Flash Brewing

Green Flash Brewing, a beverage brewer adoptedcloud ERP and enabled its people to reconcile accounting information faster, focus on creating new processes to guide its growing business, improve its audit trail functionality, and lower costs by achieving 99.7% inventory accuracy. Green Flash’s CFO, Steve Goodger states, “I don’t have to deal with the headache of having a big IT system in-house. It allows us to focus on what we do best.” Green Flash has now expanded to the East Coast with a new location in Virginia, which they opened at the end of 2016.

Floracraft

FloraCraft, maker of Styrofoam products for the crafts industry, implemented Plex at four facilities to address its growth and inventory challenges. Plex’s cloud ERP solution streamlined the company’s operations, helping FloraCraft achieve a level of operational excellence that enabled it to win WalMart’s Supplier of the Year award in 2014. FloraCraft’s President and CEO, Jim Scatena points out that versionless cloud ERP is key to its success: “We only have two IT folks at FloraCraft so not having to manage additional servers and software is a real bonus for us, as is the minimal overhead required to upgrade versions or manage ERP licensing!”

Why should you choose Plex?

Plex is Built for Manufacturers

Manufacturing ERP software is not all the same. Historical ERP software solutions involve painful implementation projects followed by challenging periodic updates – often forcing companies to go years without updating their ERP system. Meanwhile, these same companies lose value day after day as new features and functions elude them, only implemented with the next painful ‘big bang’ upgrade.

Modern manufacturing ERP software from Plex takes a different approach. No more waiting. No more upgrades. New features are added daily to a single line of code, shared instantly with all Plex customers. Those customers not only realize renewed value daily, but share best practices real time with other peer Plex customers, all of which have access to exactly the same features, functions and capabilities enabled by a true, single ERP software code SaaS cloud offering.

ERP software solutions should truly be just that; solutions. Manufacturers are often tempted by ERP software vendors touting strong financial, accounting, and even retail ERP software solutions and systems. None of these, however, do the one thing they need particularly well – manufacturing.

Plex is different, offering the only ERP software solution built from the ground up in the cloud and focused exclusively on manufacturing. At Plex, we know manufacturing isn’t just part of the business: manufacturing is the business. The Plex ERP software solution is purpose-built to fit your manufacturing business needs, evolving with you while adding value daily.

Manufacturing ERP software is not all the same. Plex can help you be different. Find out how.

Manufacturers have moved beyond the need for non-integrated point solutions to solve their challenges – they require a true ERP system. Beyond individual, bolt-on products, an ERP system enables connectivity between companies, their customers and their suppliers.

An ERP system must fit the business needs of a given company, while offering a broad array of capabilities designed for that business. With an eye toward the future, the right ERP system gives companies the power to scale at their pace while adding constant value in real time.
